Commodore Tatnall Attacks the Federal fleet in Cockspur roads — the Yankees in possession of Warsaw.

Savannah, Nov. 27.

--Commodore Tatnall, with three small steamers and one gun-boat attacked the Federal fleet in Cock spur Roads on yesterday. The engagement lasted one hour, and from 40 to 50 shots were exchanged. No person was injured on our side. The effect of the firing on the enemy is unknown.--Failing to draw the fleet under the guns of Fort Pulaski, Com. Tatnall withdrew. There are now six large vessels inside of the bar, and one large frigate was towed over yesterday afternoon. The enemy has pickets all around Tybee Island, as far as King's landing.

It is reported that the Yankees have taken possession of Warsaw, and that they are preparing to attack Fort Pulaski.
